Noise Pollution

This is my concept, the overwhleming noise of a big city scene. There is a parade, a quarraling couple, a firing range (not sure if I'll keep that), an admiring crowd, a braking dog, impatient cars and fireworks.

My color scheme combines some darker strong colors with bright color to balance the crowded scene.I feel like these colors are happy and will help the viewer from becoming overwhelmed.

I decided my initial sketch was way too busy so I have taken a couple of the elements of a parade and illustrated those instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to make the colors go so bright in saving the image, in illustrator it looks like my original color swatches.

This is my finished image. I'm not 100% happy with it but I'm still learning and becoming comfortable with design. It is my representation of loud, a bustling parade with a crowd of onlookers.
